Steering Problem(truck Pulls To Left)


Recommended Posts

Posted

2005 gmc sierra has been pulling to the left for about 6 months now so you have to turn the steering wheel to the right in order to go straight. it feels like you are driving in a hard side wind that is blowing you left all the time. i noticed it started doing this after i had a rim fall off on the rear driver side. I had some brake work done after that because the slave cylinder got messed up and they bled the brakes and all that stuff. things i have tried to fix this are checking tire pressure, switching tire side to side, going from after market rims to stock rims, checking alignment. Nothing has worked. i am wondering if it could be a front brake stickin a little or something cuz i have noticed a little noise up front somethimes or i have been doing some research and some people say there idler arm wore out and they replaced that and it was fixed. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas to help me out. it would be very much appreciated. Thanks for any help.

Could definitely be sticky brakes especially with a noise up front (happened to me once - but very loud and very bad pull), or air in one of the lines or calipers. If you had an alignment done, they should have checked your steering components for slack but you never know. Check ball joints, tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm... I think at this point it's worth doing a full underbody inspection, especially the steering components.

Its not super loud noise though. like if you have the window down you can hear it but other then that you can't.
